Thoughts from the interface of science, religion, law and culture

After spending several years touring the country as a stand up comedian, Ed Brayton tired of explaining his jokes to small groups of dazed illiterates and turned to writing as the most common outlet for the voices in his head. He has appeared on the Rachel Maddow Show and the Thom Hartmann Show, and is almost certain that he is the only person ever to make fun of Chuck Norris on C-SPAN.

I enjoyed Thinking Atheist and Fox News take on the rally. Fox’s was actually better than I thought it’d be, which is probably why they put in movie clips – in order to dilute the ideas being promoted and avoid having more content from the rally.

Re the Fox “report”: It’s always amusing to see religionists attempt to falsely assert non-religionists share their dependence on faith, where religionists use the term ‘faith’ framed as a thinking defect.

Who is the old dude with the long hair and fu manchu? I did a google search on his face and predominately came up with young brown-haired females, some committing a certain sex act. I’m surprised Google released this software several months ago, it vividly illustrates Steve Jobs’ criticism of the quality of Google’s products.

I hadn’t listened to anything by Seth Andrews until watching this video, and my first impression was that he has a wonderful voice and talent for broadcasting–confirmed by listening to his latest podcast.

It comes as no surprise that he used to be a religious broadcaster before he saw the light and became an atheist. I wish him success and the greatly expanded audience he deserves.
